One of my synth heroes has to be John Carpenter.

He's been creating scoring his movies since the start and I think is one of the only directors to consistently do so (btw, check out the Soundtrack Edition of Music Monday).

He's a master of minimalism and creating suspense in music... everyone thinks of the Halloween theme song, but since I'm not entirely sure whether that's a synth (kinda think the main bit is a piano line) I'm gonna point another, lesser-known banger... the theme to Assault on Precinct 13.

Also, check out this awesome performance he did of the theme from Escape from New York. He performed this one alongside his son, Cody Carpenter.
